Human history from early civilisations to the modern era is condensed into turning points, movements and the people who drove them.
Timelines, maps and infographics carry much of the explanation, with short written entries supplying the context around each event. The sequence makes long stretches of the past navigable, and the visual treatment keeps dense material readable in short sessions.
Useful to know:
• Major events arranged in clear chronological order
• Maps and infographics that make causes and consequences visible
• Coverage of political, cultural and technological change
• Entry lengths suited to browsing or structured revision
Secondary students, teachers and general readers who want one broad history on the shelf will find this DK Publishing volume at Boipoka.
